Sometimes I feel like I live in a timely loop where every two weeks there’s another “pick your favourite/who’s the best Robin” poll.
One day Stephanie is going to win and then you’ll all see.
TIL The Double Empathy Problem theory suggests social difficulties experienced by autistic people when interacting with non-autistic people are due to reciprocal differences, not an inherent deficiency, most autistic people are able to display good social reciprocity with most other autistic people

Okay but someone in the JL has definitely gone through the Watchtower security cam footage and made a compilation video of Captain Marvel banging his head on the top of a doorway.
And I’m pretty sure we all know that he must do that a lot.

Read Superman/Shazam: First Thunder and genuinely cried over it and had the most gut wrenching thought...
Clark's knows exactly how it feels for the world to have their eyes on him always. He knows what it's like for the world to fear him as Superman, and as much as they've come to trust him, the instant Superman acts out or 'has a bad day', he knows he will become the villian. The big scary alien guy with impossible powers who could destroy the world. Even one little outburst, one tiny flicker of anything other than hope and joy, and the trust he's worked so hard to build will crumble.
Billy is young. He's new. He doesn't know this. He acts out in frustration and anger and sarrow, and he doesn't know how to cope with these impossible standards. He's just a little boy who wants to cry and throw things, but Captain Marvel throwing a tantrum could destroy a city. He probably feels like a caged animal, unable to let out any of those feelings, lashing out and running away. He doesn't have the same self-control as Clark and is almost self-destructive in a sense.
Of course, Clark immediately feels strongly about Billy just being a kid. Clark was once a little boy with powers he couldn't fully control and knew exactly how it felt to be teetering on the edge of "everyone hates me, I'm a monster," mindsets. He probably feels so much kinship and understanding, and he gets defensive over it. Clark was so ready to throw hands with the wizard for Billy, then immediately went to Billy to comfort him and be like, "we're both just people. We're the same. You aren't alone."
Sobbing very hard </3.
Kinktober is overpowering Whumptober. Us angst lovers must unite and bring sadness and suffering back the the forefront of society’s mind
Who invented autism?
The famous Italian inventor, Leoneuro di Vergent.
I prefer Captain Marvel cause it’s just such a fun concept that when he says this very particular word he transforms.
I think it just opens up a lot of different possibilities about how people fight him considering he’s nearly immortal. Like, if he can only transform saying Shazam if he wants to transform, then how do people force him into transforming back to Billy when they want to defeat him in combat?
It’s just more interesting if he can’t ever say such a specific word without either revealing his identity or becoming vulnerable (or both)
This is mostly a joke but uh
Every time someone calls SHAZAM captian marvel I mentally go "why are you dead naming him?"
One day a man goes missing in Gotham. Nobody special, just another unlucky lowlife schmuck who owed money to the wrong people. The kind of guy with nobody in the world to miss him. Bruce and Babs are sharing notes when Cassandra wanders in. When she notices a picture of the guy's face her eyes harden in a way they're very unused to and she insists they put her on the case. She very pointedly asks for his name before pulling down her mask and leaping out the window.
They don't see her again for the next several days. She tears through the city's criminal underbelly with an unmatched ferocity. She's always driven but this concerns even Bruce. If experience has taught them anything though, it's that there's no talking to her when she's like this so they can do nothing but wait and hope.
Eventually she puts enough pressure on that somebody gives her a location. Not an hour later she's untying the man from a chair in a dank cellar in a dive bar on the outskirts of the city. He's not exactly on the right side of law so when he pulls the blindfold from over his eyes and sees a Bat standing right in front of him, especially this bat, he yelps and recoils in fear. Then she hugs him. She hugs him tight and holds on long enough that he forgets his fear and instead starts to feel distinctly awkward. Then just as quickly she vanishes, leaving him alone and too stunned for words.
He doesn't remember, but then, she never expected him to. It was years ago after all. A cold night, even for winter in Gotham when a petty crook decided the girl huddled on a street corner with no home to go back to looked like she needed that hot cup of cocoa more than he did. She remembered though.
what I was referencing:
For @casscainweek Day 3 (Jan. 22): Silence | Music
Cassandra did not live in a silent world when David was training. There were many sounds, fists against flesh, gunshots and blades being drawn and wielded.
It was a world she was used to. David never said he was proud, but Cassandra knew he was.
Now, she chooses not to think much about him. He had granted her these skills, but that was all he had given her beyond pain.
The world was louder now, she had to learn what voices were, what type of sound the voices were and what that meant. It was hard. Very hard. And it infuriated her. She wasn’t trained for this.
But, there was one sound she liked. Something that Barbara had given. She named them headphones. They faíce fed her ears and played a soothing tune of gentle… piano, yes.
It was easy to understand. The music was simple, she could close her eyes and focus on it. Barbara wasn’t always understanding, not knowing Cass was trying, and she wasn’t like her.
But this music was nice.
It was nice to have sounds she understood.

I hope this is good. I love Cass so much.
She/HerAutistic, queer, and (according to all the unfinished fics in my docs) an aspiring fanfic author!
